Grammar/Writing Conventions
	Exemplary 4 pts	Accomplished 3 pts	Developing 2 pts	Beginning 1 pts
Spelling	Exemplary Spelling is generally correct.	Accomplished Spelling is usually correct on common words, but more difficult words are problematic.	Developing Spelling errors are frequent and repeated.	Beginning Spelling gets in the way of understanding the content.
Punctuation	Exemplary The punctuation is accurate, even creative, and guides the reader through the text easily.	Accomplished Punctuation is somewhat accurate, and shows a good command for readability, but not creativity.	Developing Punctuation is random, and only the easiest rules show awareness of correct use.	Beginning Lack of punctuation, or numerous errors in punctuation affect the readability of the text.
Grammar and usage	Exemplary Grammar and usage are alway correct and enhance the writing clarity and style.	Accomplished Grammar and usage is good, but does not always add to the style of the writing.	Developing Problems with grammar and usage are not serious enough to distort the meaning, but may not be correct or accurately applied all the time.	Beginning Errors in grammar and usage are very noticeable, frequent, and affect meaning.
Sentence Fluency	Exemplary Writing has an easy flow, with strong varied sentence structures. There are varied and purposeful sentence beginnings.	Accomplished Sentences get the job done, constructed correctly, and sound. Sentence structures attempt to vary, as do sentence beginnings.	Developing Sentence structures are simplistic and monotonous. Need complexity, but they do make sense.	Beginning Sentences do not make sense, ramble, begin the same way, and endlessly connect to others.
